Summary

I am a passionate HR professional specializing in Total Rewards. Proficient in developing and implementing benefit programs that meet organizational goals and enhance employee satisfaction. Experienced in regulatory compliance including ACA, FMLA, ADA, ERISA, and HIPAA. With a strong background in employee benefits, compensation analysis, and HR operations, I bring a deep understanding of how a comprehensive rewards strategy drives engagement, supports retention, and enhances organizational performance.

What sets me apart is my ability to blend analytical insight with empathetic communication. I believe that behind every policy or plan is a person impacted by it—and I take pride in delivering accurate, timely, and thoughtful support that helps individuals make informed choices about their health, finances, and future.
